About the Role

Do you thrive on precision, strategy, and building winning electrical estimates that set projects up for success? We’re looking for a detail-oriented, analytical Electrical Estimator who can transform drawings, specifications, and bid documents into accurate, competitive cost estimates across electrical, industrial, transportation, and utility construction projects.

In this role, you’ll serve as a critical partner in the preconstruction process—analyzing electrical scope, developing labor and material estimates, coordinating vendor and subcontractor pricing, and producing high-quality proposals that support profitable project delivery. You’ll play a key role in helping the business win work while ensuring alignment between estimating, operations, and executive leadership.

What You’ll Do – Estimate with Precision. Build Winning Electrical Proposals.

Review electrical drawings, specifications, bid packages, and RFP documentation to develop a complete understanding of project requirements and scope.
Execute electronic takeoffs to quantify conduit, wire, cable, devices, panels, switchgear, labor, and associated electrical materials.
Build comprehensive electrical estimates using labor units, material pricing, subcontractor quotes, and internal cost benchmarks.
Solicit, evaluate, and level pricing from suppliers and subcontractors to ensure complete and competitive bid coverage.
Identify scope gaps, constructability concerns, and commercial risk factors while incorporating contingency considerations into estimates.
Generate accurate, professional bid proposals including scope assumptions, exclusions, clarifications, and pricing documentation.
Coordinate estimate reviews with department leadership and stakeholders for bids above established thresholds.
Conduct weekly follow-up on pending proposals and maintain proactive communication with clients regarding open electrical bids.
Participate in post-award kickoff meetings with operations teams to ensure accurate turnover of estimate assumptions, scope, and pricing.
Track pricing trends, maintain estimating databases, and continuously improve estimating workflows and standards.

Strong understanding of electrical construction estimating principles and bid development processes
Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, one-lines, specifications, and contract documents
Experience estimating electrical systems, power distribution, conduit/cable pathways, and associated infrastructure
Familiarity with subcontractor scope review and supplier pricing processes
Strong mathematical, analytical, and problem-solving skills
Excellent organizational skills with high attention to detail
Ability to manage multiple bids and deadlines in a fast-paced environment
Strong communication and collaboration skills across operations and leadership teams

Technical Skills Preferred
